Abstract
AbstractIn higher plants, the xylem, which is crucial for water and nutrient transport, also contains a diverse proteome. The composition of the xylem sap proteome responds dynamically to changes in environmental conditions. Important functions are maintenance of structural integrity and defense against invading pathogens. Knowledge on signals that trigger proteomic changes is scarce. Better understanding of these processes may contribute to improve plant performance in a changing climate.
